Have a look:

Please note at the end of reel #4 on 'Charlie's Angels 2 - Full Throttle' there is a potential problem when the projectionist cuts/conforms the picture to a platter bed at the Theatre.

At the end of Reel #4 the scene ends with a fade to Black and therefore if the film is loaded onto a platter and cut together and conformed there is a potential for the projectionist to cut the end of reel at the wrong point and this would result in reel 5 being out of rack.

All Negatives have since been scribed with a cut mark but as all your Bulk prints were made from the first set of facilities in Deluxe Hollywood they do NOT have a cut mark.

Therefore, we have made up a 35mm 'spot reel' measurement guide which will be shipped to you over the weekend which should be sent out with each print giving the projectionist an accurate measurement guide to make the cut.

This 'spot reel' is a measurement guide only and 'MUST NOT BE CUT INTO THE REEL 4'.

Please can you note the below instructions for the projectionist and translate into your local language and sent out with the 'spot reel' with each print.

'This spot reel is a measurement guide for marking the cut mark for the end of reel 4 of 'Charlie's Angels - Full Throttle' for conforming the print on the platter. The action sequence consists of one and a half frames of the previous scene then the last scene of the reel which fades to black.
The one and a half frames of the previous scene is the 'sync point' for you (the projectionist) to match to the Reel 4ab of the print.
Please Run the Reel 4 Print and the 'spot reel' cutting guide down to the end of the fade to black where the last frame of picture is marked on the 'spot reel' by a 'White frame line and an arrow' this is your cut mark! - Please Do Not Pos-Cut the Supplied 'Spot Reel' into the Reel # 4 as the 'Spot Reel' is mute.

If your are unsure about any of the above please let me know.

Dear Daryl, as you so elequently put it, so true.
We make up dozens of prints onto our 6000 ft spools with fade-ins and fade-out and we preserve the fades. It is common to see the cut made as the fade begins, ruining the effect the film-maker intended. Obviously a 16 yo choc topper job.
We have the most simple device imaginable, one which all Film-tech people would know about, being the old sprocket with the frameline position marked on it. Even a choc topper could use it, preserve the fades as intended and not stuff it up as Daryl notes.
Daryl, if you never sleep, you must be like the man in the last James Bond movie.
Best regards, John Spooner.

As so often before, I ran into lack of words when trying to name this post.
Thanks for helping me out, Joe

No problem! [Smile]

By the way, I DID see what you changed it to before what it is now, but I had just woken up and my mind was still in some other dimension of grogginess so I didn't quite comprehend. [Smile]
